Let's say you run RHEL on your production servers. You pay for licensing those servers, which gives you Red Hat support, and also because you have proprietary software which is only supported on Red Hat. You pay a pretty penny for thos

Sure. Since you say this is not a big deal and CentOS is not dead but is just changing, I really only have 2 questions: 1) What in your opinion were the main use cases for CentOS before this change announcement? 2) How do you think CentOS S

There's a large gulf between users who will play nothing and users who will pay something. If you start charging you have to account for how much of the user base will leave just for there being any cost at all. If you're using Pa

I'm still going to wipe down my plastic and cardboard groceries when it's not a complete pain, but I'm probably not going to worry about spraying my produce with hydrogen peroxide.

I'm well aware we're in a pandemic, and my family and friends are quarantining and going to great lengths in cleaning and wearing masks. I'm well aware that the US and particularly Trump is absolutely mucking up the response.

There are plenty of companies thoroughly locked in to AWS infrastructure. They don't need to lure in new companies with these services (though the wide variety helps). The point is to get companies already locked in to start using thes

If you're looking to do this without OS X, or you want to do something like this in an existing Video conference app like Zoom or Jitsi (I have no idea if Mmhmm does or not, they give few details and I can't download it), this is

Right. The point of the oil exploration expedition is not whether you find oil or not. It's that at google, running an expedition gets you a promotion, whether you found anything useful or not.

I've always found the change.org donation solicitation a bit shady (you're essentially paying for an ad on the site for the petition), but I have no idea how the donators reached for comment could not know what the donation is. It

If I were to hazard a guess, it's people reading through HN, seeing "AWS Partitions", assuming it's a new AWS service announcement, and either voting for it without reading it or favorit-ing it for later. I only opened t

As an AWS employee I doubt there's a ton you can do to influence Amazon's physical product side. What you could do is try to influence AWS to stop being the backbone for ICE and DHS's extremely cruel deportation policies. Sin

Fair enough. I just firewalled 10000 and tried talking to a friend and it does not work. The web app indeed runs over 443 but all the video conferencing is done over UDP. However WebRTC is always encrypted. So add on a 4th well tested piece
